Higher quality audio is a staple of
the experience for a growing number of streaming music services, most notably Spotify. Sony won't let itself become the
exception to the rule: Music Unlimited now has an option for a much more
detailed 320Kbps bitrate. The quality upgrade is staggered and is initially
active on Android devices, the PlayStation 3 and the web player, while desktops,
iOS, the PlayStation Vita and home theater gear will get
improved tunes later on in the year. Music Unlimited won't appease those who
want a consistent experience in the near term, then -- still, it might be
enough for listeners whose Xperia serves as a primary jukebox .
